What are the bandwidth requirements to attend an event?

Modified on Mon, 17 Jun at 4:33 PM

You can easily test if your set-up is fulfilling the requirements of the Virtual Events platform through this technical check page.


The amount of bandwidth required to attend an event is directly linked to the amount of people in the video-call. The system tries to adjust the quality of the call and participants video based on the bandwidth availability, but we suggest a good internet connection so that you have the best experience.


We suggest having at least a 50mbps internet connection in order to have a good quality call.


For more details on the calculations, please check these requirements:


Video Meetings Upstream:


Up to 3Mbps for video upload

40kbps for audio upload


Video Meetings Downstream:


3.5 Mbps for "On Stage" video in high quality

At least 500kbps for one incoming stream at the lowest quality

200kbps per thumbnail stream (excluding on-stage)

96kbps for audio

Downstream max bandwidth in a conference of n people would be 3.5Mbps + (n-2)200kbps + 96kbps


If you are facing connectivity issues, please make sure no other devices on your network are using extensively the internet bandwidth and preferably connect with a wired cable to avoid any noise from the wifi connection.
